MIAMI BELLE II A-37
A historic page put together for MIAMI BELLE II A-37 and added to our boats page. The hydro was campaigned by Jack McMahon who was sadly killed doing what he loved…racing hydroplanes. You will also see pics of Jack’s best friend Paul Flohn, driving his ROWDY A-36. Check out the history.

Jones’ Sponson Spoilers
“The gizzy between the sponsons is a spoiler, meant to prevent stuffing the bow if the boat flies a bit and comes down nose-first.

Here’s the 1958 Bardahl with the temporary spoilers”.
